[anu789]

Hi,

I am Anu and i have been reading this forum for past 1 week and it looks like this is one of most valuable website. I am from india presently living in Atlanta Georgia. I have done Master of Science in Microbiology and Bachelor of Science in Microbiology/Chemistry/Botany and had worked for 2 years in hospital as Nursing Assistant and Medical Lab Research Analyst.

I am looking for Second Degree accelerated BSN programs anywhere in USA. I am planning to take Anatomy and Physiology this summer. I did most of my education in India and we have a different course requirements.

Can anyone suggest me a school or a college that has reasoable Pre-requisites.

I have completed the Following courses in the past 6 years -

Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry

Medical Microbiology, Genetic Engineering, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, Virology, Botany and Zoology, Fermentation Technology, English and many other Molecular Biology Courses.

This website i was looking for accelerated BSN programs.

I am willing to take Anatomy and Physiology and Nursing related courses.

There are many courses that are irrelevant to Nursing Program like Sociology, Philiso/Religion, Human Growth & Devel, Nutrition, English Literature and i found some universities asking for strange COurses requirements not required for any Nursing Program.

After Completing 17 years inclusing MS in Microbiology and 2 years of Hospital Experience, DO I STILL NEED TO DO THIS COURSES FOR ADMISSION.

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY REASOABLE UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES WHERE I CAN apply for Fall Semester.

Your advise is deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Anu

Out of curiousity.... how are these courses irrelevant to nursing?

This page lists quite a few (but not all) ABSN programs:

Some programs also require classes like pathophysiology and pharmacology... but it really depends on the program..

Good luck!
